I've been living here for 15 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The safety is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've lived in Highland for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
- The traffic scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. Feel free to reach out with questions..

We moved here with our family and it exceeded my expectations. Schools in North area are solid. Kids love it here.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want weather, then yeah this place is great. But if public transit matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 7 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is decent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Riverside side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
